Welcome back! Well, almost. July is half way through and school starts in about 4 weeks. This summer has flown by, and I even had 3 extra months due to having my little Sawyer. A quick update on my family: Things are going well. Sloane is a crazy, independent 2 year old whose favorite words are “Meself,” and “Hold me, pease.” At least she says please. 🙂 Sawyer is 4 and a half months old and doing well. For those who don’t know, he has Down syndrome. We did not know about this until he was born. We feel very blessed that he does not have any major health issues at this point in his life. He is eating well and growing. Developmentally he is doing great as well. I will admit, that before him I didn’t know much about Down syndrome, and while I am still not an expert, I certainly know more than I did before. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have about Sloane, Sawyer or Down syndrome, I will do my best to answer.
Our classroom supply list is ready. It is at the top of the blog under the title “Supply List 2016-17” next to the snack ideas page. Our list is not very big this year. We have lots left over from previous years. If you are unable to get the things on the list, please let me know. Also, please let me know if you have any questions about it.
Here is a link to the school’s dress code policy: http://mariamontessoriacademy.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Dress-Code-Guidelines-Updated.pdf.

Can’t wait to see you all.
